IMPROVEMENT IN ANVlL-VISE'S.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,854, dated November 6, 1877; application filed 1 March 20, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT H. ANDER- soN, of Nebraska City, in the county of Otoe and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Anvil -Vises, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

. The invention relates to an improved anvilvise; and consists inthe devices hereinafter specifically described; its object being to provide a suitable implement for the use of farmers, mechanics, and analogous purposes.

Figure l is a side elevation of a device embodying the elements of the invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of same.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the anvil resting upon the block B. The rear end of the anvil is cast with the rigid visejaw or griping-edge D, and its front end with the horn E.

F represents an angular-shaped bar which is dovetailed in or cast with the butt-end of the anvil, as shown in the annexed drawings, and extends perpendicularly downward a suitable distance. To the outer end .of the short arm of this bar is properly hinged or otherwise secured the movable vise-jawH, of ordinary construction, its upper or biting edge corresponding and being flush with the gripin g-edge D of the anvil.

The jaw H is provided with the aperture I, placed on a horizontal plane with the aperture L, formed in the butt-end of the anvil. In these apertures works the threaded vise-screw N, to hold and regulate the gripe of the implement.

The aperture L is threaded, thus dispensing with the use of an extra nut in the recess formed in the lower surface of the anvil.

The spring Tis provided to press the movable vise-jaw from the'anvil, which is fastened to its base by any suitable means.

X represents the cutting-die, set in an aperworked as, effectively as in the present case,

by reason of the iron extending beyond the edge of the anvil and hanging over.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The. anvil A, constructed with the bitingedge D, and having the threaded aperture L on its rear end, in combination with the angular bar F and vise-jaw H, provided with the aperture I, in which, in conjunction with the aperture L,the vise-screw N operates, the upper edge of the jaw H being flush with the upper surface of the anvil A, and all the parts mentioned being arranged and constructed substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvement in anvil-Vises, as above described, I have hereunto set my hand this 14thday of December, 1876.

ALBERT H. ANDERSON.
